Liberal group wants Obama administration’s emails investigated

June 30, 2010

  Barack Obama promised to have the most open, transparent, and honest administration in history. He also promised that he would end the culture in Washington and not be beholden to lobbyists.

  According to the liberal group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) Barack Obama has failed on all accounts, and they are asking the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform to open up an investigation into the Obama regime’s use of personal email accounts to keep in touch with lobbyists.

  CREW is claiming that members of the Obama regime are using personal email accounts to hide the fact that the regime is in touch with lobbyists– contrary to  campaign promises of being an open administration which shuns lobbyists and would reform Washington– and they believe that if this is true, the Obama regime has violated federal law.

It is outrageous that White House staff are deliberately using personal email accounts – in violation of the law – to hide the fact that they are in touch with lobbyists,” CREW Executive Director Melanie Sloan said in a paper statement. “This is what all the administration’s anti-lobbyist rhetoric gets you – less transparency. Rather than being open and clear about who is influencing White House policy, the White House is trying to hide who it’s really talking to.  Even worse, the public is being suckered with lofty rhetoric about the evils of the same lobbyists White House officials are meeting with

  There you have it, according to CREW, Barack Obama’s “anti-lobbyist rhetoric” has actually led the regime to be less transparent than they would normally be because they are trying to hide the fact that the regime is engaging in the type of behavior that they campaigned against. The regime is going out of its way to hide its involvement with lobbyists even as it works behind the scenes with them; yet another example of Barack Obama saying one thing while doing the exact opposite.

  This is exactly the type of behavior that Barack Obama promised to rectify, yet now he may be engaged in it stealthily.

  This is not Darrell Issa and other Republicans calling for this investigation, this is a liberal watchdog group that is now targeting Barack Obama. While Darrell Issa has many legitimate reasons to ask for investigations into Barack Obama’s activity, the regime and the Democrats in congress are easily able to write off the requests for inquiry as right wing vitriol, political wrangling, smearing, and character assassination but they can not so easily brush these charges aside because this is a request from a left leaning organization.

  Because this request is coming from a left leaning organization we can rest assured that this is not a politically motivated request. More than likely there is something to this or else CREW wouldn’t even bother moving forward. But there is only one way to be sure– let the investigation begin!

    I personally think when the history of the Obama administration is written it will be not about the first black president but about the most corrupt president in our time. Things such as backdoor lobbyists will turn out to be the rule rather than the exception. After all those years in Chicago politics can anyone really expect Obama and those around him to change—NOT LIKELY!
